The walking of a well-disciplined monk should be pure in four respects: in respect to 1. the cause; 2. the time; 3. the road; 4. the effort. (4)
The cause is: knowledge, faith, and right conduct; the time is day-time; the road excludes bad ways. (5)
The effort is fourfold, viz. as regards: 1. substance, 2. place, 3. time, and 4. condition of mind. Hear me explain them. (6)
With regard to substance: the (walking monk) should look with his eyes; with regard to place: the space of a yuga (i.e. four hastas or cubits); with regard to time: as long as he walks; and with regard to condition of mind: carefully. (7)
He walks carefully who pays attention only to his walk and his body (executing it), whilst he avoids attending to the objects of sense, but (minds) his study, the latter in all five ways. (8)
